Joe Cole slams Chelsea project: “The fans are not happy. Since the takeover, they’ve spent £1.5bn. They’ve posted massive losses. They are 4 years into a 5-year plan. It looks like, barring a miracle, they will be out of the Champions League. We need to talk about the strategy, the plan and where the club is going. “This model of buy young, develop, and put value on. I thought to myself it sounds like buy and sell. Buy loads of players at 21, they will come into their prime at 25, and the average age of a Premier League-winning side is 27. Logically, buy them at 21, 22 or 23. “Seven-year deals, average age, develop, by the time they are 27, but it seems too data-driven, structured, without the nuance of having senior players, how important that is, the culture, getting fans onside. “We’re coming up to the fourth year of the masterplan. For all of the chaos of Abramovich’s exit, the plan was always clear. Buy the best players, get the best managers, win every trophy. If they lose games, managers were gone, players were gone, and everyone knew what was going to happen. “Clearlake have come in and gone, this is too structured, we’re going to try a new long-term plan. The first alarm bell to me is the number of managers sacked. That tells me that it isn’t long-term thinking; it can’t be. If it’s long-term, you stick with a manager.”

@ChelsTransfer @isaacblackmore actually talking sense for once

🎯 Carragher: “You know the famous line - ‘You don’t win anything with kids.’ You need older experienced players. The idea you are going to buy a team full of young players and we are going to grow over next 3-4 years. I don’t think football is like that”

@FabrizioRomano @JoeCrowther_98 didn’t we bet on this tiger

Now 6 windows in and our squad is as bad as its ever been. Clearlake, Eghbali and his 3 little minions Stewart, Winstanley and Shields have ruined the club 👍

Estêvão scores in STOPPAGE-TIME to put Chelsea back in front at Stamford Bridge! 😱

@Josh_Devaney @FabrizioRomano Done with Chelsea if they actually go for him

@FabrizioRomano Absolutely insane. Done with United if they let this go through.

🚨🇦🇷 Alejandro Garnacho situation remains open, doors are not closed ahead of final two weeks. Napoli keep pushing with Antonio Conte who had direct call with Garnacho on Friday. Chelsea made direct contact with Man United to ask for conditions, with more talks expected soon.
